Manhunt Continues for Travis Decker, Accused of Drowning His Three Daughters

The nationwide manhunt for 32-year-old Travis Decker continues after he is accused of drowning his three minor daughters near a camping site. Authorities state that he could be anywhere in the country. Shocked Americans are following the developments surrounding the tragic case involving Decker, who served in Afghanistan and remains a member of the Washington National Guard. The bodies of the three sisters were found with plastic bags over their heads and their hands tied. Evidence from Decker’s vehicle revealed two bloodstained handprints in the back. Data from his cellphone indicates he was in the area where the children were found dead on Saturday. Decker has survival training and can endure weeks in the wilderness with minimal equipment. He served in Afghanistan in 2014 and joined the Washington National Guard in 2021. A reward of $20,000 is offered for information leading to his arrest. Investigations involve the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Marshals Service. Authorities will not stop until they locate him. Decker faces three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of kidnapping. Despite unknown details about his armament, he is considered extremely dangerous. This visit was part of a custody agreement, but Decker deviated from the agreed terms, which was unusual and caused alarm. The mother, Whitney Decker, contacted the police Friday night stating that Decker had not returned the children, and his phone was turned off. She expressed concerns about his mental health due to a previous diagnosis of personality disorder and possible lack of medication. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact 911 immediately.
